A spark of the Divine glows.

Radiant roses by jubilee shores' illuming ray,

Would you pick the fairest petaled array

And deliver to my mother who left earth's room?

For on this Mother's Day, her presence I cannot seek,

Angels having ushered her to celestial peak.

So if paradise roses in splendor unfurl,

Pluck a dozen to my dearly missed mother to unfurl.

Though joyful in knowing we'll reunite, embrace,

Admiring those blossoms in jubilee's endless day,

Together in gardens where roses forever hold sway.

Amidst celestial beauty, I'd gaze for you.

To hear your laughter's melody once more,

See your radiant smile that my heart's core bore.

Within my soul, your loving light remains.

I envision your peace in heaven's blissful abode,

Waiting for me at your kitchen's humble road.

This boundless love transcends all earthly words,

If I could, your thoughts from above would be heard.

Guiding memories of your blessings imbue

Each step I take - heavenly windows, I'd look for you.
